Are they going to ban tacos too?
- aketchum 6y agoI spent quite a bit of time in Nogales, Mexico and ate as many tacos as I could get my hands on. Across the board they were far healthier than anything I can get from a fast food restaurant in the states. The tacos in (Sonora) Mexico generally consist of: Corn tortilla, meat, cabbage, onions, cilantro. Optional hot salsa.
- baconandeggs 6y agoHot salsa is not optional.
- throaway12461 6y agotacos are not traditionally served in Oaxaca and are probably not a major contributor to obesity there. why say something so low-brow?
- liability 6y agoI'm confident you can construct an unhealthy taco, but is there anything inherently wrong with tacos? Fundamentally it's just a bit of meat, veggies and cheese. The tortilla is grain and thus arguably not great, but tortillas are pretty small compared to the average sandwich bread.
- bluGill 6y agoSandwich bread is mostly air, tortillas are smaller, but they seem to contain a lot more substance.
- CameronNemo 6y agoTortillas are made from nixtamal, which has some nutritional improvements over raw/heat-only corn. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixtamalization https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixtamalization
